The sheep's retreat farmstay

Beautiful views to Mount Ruapehu. Staying on a working farm looking over paddocks full of sheep or cattle is something very special that you will write home about. Happy if you are travelling alone, as a couple, or a family with children. We are very child friendly but discourage pets for the protection of our animals. You will be amidst sheep in every room. If you have an additional group or a smaller group we also have the Cattle Stop Farmstay just down the road.

Farm-didn't stay
Unfortunately the listing instructions gave us an address to go to and when we got there we couldn't find anyone, with no mobile reception we decided to drive up the road. We then found someone at the next house who told us the accommodation was further up. Got to the house and we found it unclean. All floors were unclean, kitchen benches, dining table, dining chairs, couches in the lounge all had crumbs on them. Fridge hadn't been wiped, same with stove tiles (we're like oily smear) kitchen sink had a bit of food in it. Bathroom had some hairs. The BBQ is not like the one in the photo, this one was grease laden with all the 'fat absorbing granules' all over the ground with more grease. The son arrived to deliver towels, we tried to bring it up with him but he said the previous people were really messy. He then gave a wee vacuum. He was not very helpful and he obviously didn't know what to do. We messaged Julie who responded straight away and promised they had cleaned for 4 hours... I don't believe that we are fussy guests, we've stayed in multiple accommodations over the years, you just expect somewhere to be clean. Julie gave us a partial refund and we didn't stay (we then went to Palmerston North to try to find somewhere to house 8 of us).

Our stay at the Sheeps Retreat
Marvellous setting. Better than we expected. Home very rustic on keeping with the location. We had a great time watching the Kererus and even a kingfisher. Listening to the peacocks . Took a walk in McPhersons Bush needs a bit of work but quite pleasant. Thank you
